outfit post: The Last Detail

"I am the muthafuckin' shore patrol !"

Nautical or Naughty-cal? Outfit inspired by Hal Ashby's The Last Detail.

All right. I'm not REALLY the muthafuckin' shore patrol. Jack Nicholson is. But I did feel blue like a sailor when I dressed today & donned a real Navy-issued wool pea-coat. The coat, recently given to me by the mom of my best friend from high school, had been my BF's grandfather's & I used to wear it like an over-sized swing coat; it was huuuge on me. Believe it or not PEACOATS were not on a ladies' fashion menu back in the early '80's so it stood out in a crowd. Now the coat fits snug and blends in. The only detail missing is a white sailor's cap.

I've been wanting one for years, and haven't yet found one. But I think I need one to go with my new/old Navy pea-coat. And I need an navy shirt too, while I'm at it. Because I am the muthafuckin' shore patrol, damn it. Now give me a beer.

I love outfit posts so much. You can filled pages talking about trends and fashion..., etc; but putting youself out there, and create your own fashion, that my dear is something else... Love it all my dear friend.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have loved Navy themed clothes since I was a kid...and that's a longggggg time! It's one of those fashion trends that never really goes away...you have done a great portrayal!! So cute and I love the shiny legs....

YES!! I love the coat. What a nice gift! I had a pair of old wool Navy bell bottom britches, but I sold them in my shop. You know the ones that lace up at the waist in the back? I would've kept them but I'm sensitive to wool. I could do the pea-coat though.
